Veneer Core Plywood

Veneer Core Plywood, or VC, is a versatile product that can combine
attractive surface appearance with superior performance while retaining
comparatively high strength to weight ratios. It was developed to
provide panels with dimensional stability and good strength both along
and across the panel.

Veneer Core is defined as plywood in which all the plies are made of
veneer orientated with their plane parallel to the surface of the
panel. In veneer plywood, the direction of the grain in adjacent plies
is normally at right angles, with the outer and inner plies placed
symmetrically on each side of a central ply or core. Standard plywood
veneer is produced using a lathe, which peels a log in a similar manner
to a blade pencil sharpener. Synthetic resin adhesive is applied to the
veneer and they are assembled with the grain of each at 90° to the
adjacent veneer.
